• Schedules being redone: Girls U14 (Monday night-only for 2/13-waiting for 5th team)

• Coaching conflicts will be adjusted after new schedules are posted this weekend (by Monday night) - with so many coaches with 2 teams, the schedule was not able to guarantee 100% coverage of conflicts
• Schedule requests will follow LSYSA Guidelines (no new rules)-Click Here

• Rosters: There are limits based on age groups (U9-10 @ 12 players, U11-12 @ 14 players, and U13- U18.
  
• Rosters: Teams are allowed up to (4) "floaters" from another team within the club who will appear on both rosters. The intent of the rule is to allow more players the opportunity to get more playing time. These players should not be the top players from the other team. They should be players who do not start on the "A" team and thus will benefit from starting on the "B" team. It also allows clubs to form (2) teams instead of having too many for one. This system also allows Academy programs some flexibility and development benefits to these players. Floaters may only come from one division up or down.
  
• Rosters: Seasonal changes = 5
  
• Rosters: Rosters will be frozen every Tuesday at 5pm and re-opened at 6pm on Saturdays. This gives teams from Sat evening - Tuesday @ 5pm to make roster changes
  
• Rosters: Teams are to present their Demosphere Team Page roster to the referee prior to each match. This is in addition to the player passes. 
  
• Schedule Changes: There will be no changes to the LSYSA rules, however, the rules will be enforced. Generally speaking, a schedule change made (2) weeks in advance of said match will result in a $25 fee to be charged to the club. Within (2) weeks and the fee is $50. In order to hasten the process, teams should contact the opposing team to arrange a suitable date and time and field to present to the League Scheduler. The request should then be sent to the LS stating the match # to be rescheduled, the Division, date, time, field, teams and the agreed upon date, time and field. The LS will try to accomodate the agreed upon match, but reserves the right to alter the match details if a conflict is evident. The LS will then send an invoice to the LSYSA Treasurer for the rescheduled match.
• Forfeits: Notification of a forfeit after 6pm on the previous day will result in a $100 fine as will a no-show by the team.
